THE DR IS AWESOME

Hello everyone. Im so grateful to be a missionary in this great work. I have gained such a strong testimony of the gospel and learn something new each day. OUr investigators are awesome. Leo works as a security guard and he reads the Book of Mormon everyday. He knows tons about the book and also about the gospel. He has such a stong testiomony of the gospel. He actually told us that he was bashing with some other men. He said he wasted them. After laughing a little i told him that bashing is probably not the best way of doing things. Hes so awesome. He has a baptismal date very soon. Also we have a family we are teaching. THey love us us and we sure love them. They are really interested in the church. We watched ¨The Restoration¨ a little while ago and it was amazing the spirit we had. Also we just watched ¨The Testaments¨This was super special. The spirit waqs so strong and they learned a lot about the Book of Mormaon and its origens adn how it compliments the Bible. There were tears and a lot of joy at the end of the movie. Gustabo is also one of our investigators. He loves talking with us and knows that we are true messangers of God. He really knows how to pray. But he said he hasnt had the awnser yet. So we are trying to help him feel adn recive the awnser. He is very special. Calin is another one of our investigators. HE would have already ben baptized but he need to be marrige. So now he is going to get married and is picking a date. His wife is a less active member and we found him as we were finding less actives. Its amazing how the lord works in mysterious ways. But I like it. It just fortifiys my testimony of his power and knowledge. Perla also has a baptismal date. She has a stong testimony and loves the Gospel. She knows so much. But she needs to talk to her husband to make sure its OK. But in the past he has beaten her and she is a little scared. But we know all will be well because the lord will let all who are willing and ready into his kingdom. Daniel is an older man but very wise. He has been reading the Book of Moirmon for years. It was a gift from a neigher many years ago and he has never spoken to the misisonaries before us. But he knows this is the true churchand has agreed to be baptized. He knows the gospel very well adn uses the Book of Mormon in all that he does. We also have tons of other investigators but these are ones with baptismal datesd and who are ready. We recive the confrence talks this week and we have been reading some talks to our investigators. It really does help them to hear the voices of the living prophets. Also in the church news I read all about the Storm. Los >Caobas is in the capital so i dont know much about it. The Capital is Huge. Well yesturday was the Pavaso. It was a huge Basketball Tournament for the Campo zones. There are 4. I didnt play to well and my foot was bugging me but I had tons of fun. We had tons of fun and got to talk to all the other missionaries in the campo. After the Pavaso, The President took us home and on the way we stoped and went on a little hike. It was fun We could see the ocean and the city of Azua. The pavaso was in Azua. There was a big monument celebrating the people of Azua for fighting the Hatians adn keeping them out in the 80´s. Well thats about it. We had district confrence in Bani this week so the members of Nizao went and had a great time in Bani on Sunday. The Mission President is the President because it is a district so I have seen a lot of him latley. We also have interviews on the 29th. Its going to be sweet. Well I love you all and wish you the best of luck. Thanksgiving is going to be a little diffrent but ill figure someing fun out. hahaha. Adios.
